I Know A Place

 
Eb 
I knew 
                                            Bb 
When you told me you don't wanna go home tonight  
                                                  Ab 
And you tried to just shrug it off when I asked you why  
Somebody hurt you, somebody hurt you 
Bb                                                Eb 
But you're here by my side and I knew 
                                                 Bb 
'Cause I can recall when I was the one in your seat 
                                             Ab 
I still got the scars and they occasionally bleed 
Cause somebody hurt me, somebody hurt me 
Eb 
But I'm staying alive 
           Ab 
And I can tell,  when you get nervous 
                  Bb 
You think being yourself, means being unworthy 
                    Ab 
And it's hard to love, with a heart that's hurting 
           Bb 
But if you want to go out dancing 


          Eb                                   Bb 
I know a place, I know a place we can go 
                      Cm 
Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon 
                                        Fm 
Lay down their weapon 
                      Bb 
Just give me trust and watch what'll happen 
         Eb                                    Bb 
'Cause I know, I know a place we can run 
                      Cm 
Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon 
                                        Fm 
Lay down their weapon 
                        Bb 
Don’t you be afraid of love and affection 
Eb 
Just lay down your weapon 

 
Eb                                                         Bb 
Right no it's like you're carrying all the weight of your past 
                                                 Ab 
I see all your bruises, yellow, dark blue, and black 
But baby a bruise is only your body 
Bb 
Tryna keep you intact 
         Eb                                         Bb 
So right now I think we should go get drunk on cheap wine 
Bb                                     Ab 
I think we should hop on the purple line 
'Cause maybe our purpose 
                  Bb 
Is to never give up when we're on the right track 
           Ab 
And I can tell, when you get nervous 
                  Bb 
You think being yourself, means being unworthy 
                    Ab          Ab 
And it's hard to love with a heart that's hurting 
           Bb 
But if you want to go out dancing 

 
          Eb                                   Bb

Eb 
They will try to make you unhappy, don't let them 
    Cm 
They will try to tell you you're not free, don't listen 
Ab 
I, I know a place where you don't need protection 
Bb 
Even if it's only in my imagination 
Eb 
Even if our skin or our gods looks different 
Cm 
I believe all human life is significant 
Ab 
I throw my arms open wide in resistance 
Bb 
he’s not my leader even if he’s my president 


          Eb                                   Bb
